Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. A variety of biological,psychological,religious,philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.
While direct measurement of happiness presents challenges, tools have been developed by researchers. Positive psychology researchers use theoretical models that include describing happiness as consisting of positive emotions and positive activities, or that describe three kinds of happiness: pleasure (positive sensory experience), engagement (involvement with one’s family, work, romance and hobbies), and meaning (using personal strengths to serve some larger end).
A review of more than 160 studies of human and animal subjects has found that happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers.
isn't that the thing that all of us strive to find and keep? Nobody is happy all of the time, but some people are definitely more fulfilled than others. Studies on what makes people happy reveal that it doesn't have much to do with material goods or high achievement; it seems to whittle down to your outlook on life, and the quality of your relationships with the people around you.Happiness is the undying quest of life, the unquenchable thirst and the insatiable hunger of all human kind.Happiness is what we all seek for, what we long for.
